Vulnerability of rice production to temperature extremes during rice reproductive stage in Yangtze River Valley, China
The increasing trend of extreme heat events poses serious implications for rice production in China, especially when it coincides with the heat-sensitive reproductive growth period (RGP) leading to high temperature-induced spikelet sterility. (2) Methods: This study analyzed the long-term meteorolog...
